The current Gutenberg vs metaboxes debacle has made me a little nervous about whether WordPress will remain viable as a content management platform, so I gave Craft a spin for the first time this week.

My first impression was very positive. I suspect that I would miss the WordPress plugin ecosystem, but then again Craft has a sophisticated content management toolset baked in, and therefore requires far fewer plugins to make it usable e.g. no need for an ACF-style plugin to create field layouts. Its editor has a live preview too, which I imagine my clients will love.
